General Education Outcomes
Central to Monmouth University’s mission is the desire to educate and prepare students to realize their potential as leaders and to become engaged citizens in a diverse and increasingly interdependent world. The curriculum at Monmouth provides the foundation for accomplishing this mission.
The general education curriculum is designed so that students will:
- be empowered with a mastery of practical and intellectual skills, including writing, reading, speaking, qualitative and quantitative reasoning, technology, information literacy, and critical thinking;
- be informed by knowledge of the natural and social sciences and basic forms of inquiry, including competence in basic research skills, scientific method, collaborative problem solving, and working in interdisciplinary groups;
- have self-understanding based upon reflection, judgment, self-examination, independence of mind, and creativity;
- have an understanding of the human experience based upon knowledge of history, culture, interdependence, equality, justice, diversity, commonality, and contemporary global affairs;
- be responsible for ethics in social interactions, community involvement, and civic action; and
- relate academic knowledge to broader life and career pursuits, and acquire a depth of knowledge in a major field.
